So, it’s complete conjecture. Just as I suspected.

You f*****g whingers will never shut up crying about the club you supposedly barrack for. “Noble sucks”, “We want noble back”. “Campo sucks”, “we want Campo back”. “Ogilvie sucks”, “ Reid sucks”, “they all suck”.

Let’s face it. You are all a bunch of basement-dwelling 40-50 somethings living your life on an internet-based FOOTY FORUM who don’t know shit from shit.

Shut the f*** up and get a life or start a football club yourselves.

None of it is conjecture, but thanks for the epic rant.

FWIW I'm not 40 yet and my house doesn't have a basement. If you can't handle a consensus opinion of people not just here but outside of this forum then maybe you need to go away

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Reid is based in Victoria so wouldn't be an issue for us to have Bartel in a similar role.

Bartel was recently a GWS Director .....he isn't chasing a List Management role ....he in fact wanted Laura Kane's role at the AFL

Conjecture - no.

Fact - yes!

Stick your head in the sand if you must as I really couldn't care less.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

He's not getting Kane's job, even though she is out of her depth.

He left the GWS role because he wants a list management role!

Don’t worry, I’m only around at trade/draft time. You can have the rest of the year to be a loser.

Lets see .....my money's on no list management role ....I think he would take the COLL footy Managers role

Not sure negotiation is Bartel's strength

Given your crazed rants, may be best for you to spend more time away...

Can't be good for your blood pressure.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Just out of curiosity, all the guys potting Ricciuto constantly, like everything’s his fault.

A guy that gave his soul to the club. A guy that bleeds red, navy and gold.

What EXACTLY has he done that has destroyed the club?

I want specifics coz you guys don’t shut the f*** up.

I think it’s hard to get over Burton

That is the main thing that has ruined the club in short to medium term and the issue is we know he was a boys club hire


In other areas he’s done well , ie he’s main reason we hired Walsh . He’s got connections and influence that other people in Adelaide don’t have

There’s plenty of good things he’s done but he’s made some errors that have cost the club years of pain

Nah you are right. Everyone else is wrong.
They are all the very best of the bestest.
That's why we have been an elite club for the last 30 years and keep on winning everything.

 

[Cromulant]

I'm a loser because I threw some facts at you that you didn't agree with.

Cool.

I'm only around at this time too when there's nothing else

And go support another club?……….I feel like we’ve heard this before, I wonder who said it on tv??

I didn’t say any of that. You can try again.

 

[crow2crow]

Lord of the Flies is the 2024 Adelaide Crows bigfooty board. The board contents concerns a group of Aussie boys who are stranded on an uninhabited virtual island and their disastrous attempts to govern themselves. The board's themes include morality, leadership, and the tension between civility and chaos.

 

[Runnin Blue]

I'm a loser because I threw some facts at you that you didn't agree with.

Cool.

The only fact is you are an internet amoeba that learns to breathe solely from shitting on everything everyday.

We have a history of mediocre appointments, nepotism, moving people sideways, and promoting internally without merit.

People have called it at the time, hindsight has proven it to be correct in many instances.

We complained about Noble at the time, was probably much better than Kelly though.

For a club in a footy mad state with a massive following, I don’t see a problem with expecting someone better than both. It’s a crucial role.

You can support the club and expect more from them at the same time. It’s not a one or the other thing.

This has nothing to do with what I was asking.

Your post that I replied to does not pose a question.

 

[tinman]

So. Anyone heard any rumours?

 

[Runnin Blue]

Your post that I replied to does not pose a question.

I asked about Ricciuto specifics. You know that.

 

[Jack McKraken]

I'm hearing an unknown 5th target will be revealed tomorrow.

Watch this space.

Stop horsing around

 

[Samcro24]

I asked about Ricciuto specifics. You know that.

Yet the post I replied to was on a different tangent.

 

[MRB37]

So Bartel as list manager? Hasn’t had experience in the role so would be a stab in the dark, but I’d be on board

Edit: I’m wrong, he worked as a consultant in that space with the Lions

List Managers usually all operate out of Melbourne too, so it'd probably be the only way you can get him to the club since it would mean he wouldn't need to move to Adelaide.
